wedding planning :)

Hello,

i seem to be posting monthly, but there's just been so much going on. i'm getting married in 4.5 months. i can't believe it! everybody says how time will fly, and i know... but, man! planning has been falling into place, instead of flowers the girls will carry parasols, we've decided on favors, programs... waiting on a sample for the invites, but that will be done soon (since they have to be mailed out in 2 months), checking on a tent/chairs, we've got a block of rooms reserved (or will very soon), oh and i've got some of the jewelry i'll wear and ordered my footwear, so that should be here any day now. got a cake topper and guestbook... working on centerpieces... still have to do a music playlist. nailing down a menu for the reception... have another 2 months or so until i can meet with florist and baker. so, it's all coming together. the only disappointment to this point is that my sister jill and her family won't be able to be there. :( jill will have a baby right around that time (she's due 3 days after the wedding) and they're not going to be able to make the trip.

sometimes when i think about it, it's hard for me to believe that i'm getting married... don't get me wrong, i'm very excited for it, but it's a weird feeling... if that makes any sense. not a 'cold feet' thing, but a 'i can't believe he wants to spend forever with me' kinda feeling. oh, and the whole 'i can't believe i have to pack up everything and move again in just over 4 months'! haha

it's going to be so great, though. not just because i'm marrying the man of my dreams, but that we'll get to spend the time with family and friends, all the people who are so dear to us - all our favorite people (or at least, most of them) :)

but that's how i've been spending a lot of time lately, trying to iron out details and get ideas. trying to picture dan's face when he first sees me walking up the aisle... :)



take care of you for me
